Final answer:

Maria will arrive at her friend's house at 3:00 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the time for each activity.

1 hr 25 min + 20 min + 15 min=1 hr 60 min

Then, simplify 60 minutes. 60 minutes equals 1 hour. This will add 1 hour to the total number of hours.

1 hr 60 min=1 hr + 1 hr=2 hr

2 hours after 1:00 pm is 3:00 pm. Maria should arrive at her friend's house at 3:00 pm.
